Wendell Berry
“The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”
Wendell Berry, The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry

Joan Didion
“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
Joan Didion, The White Album

E.B. White
“It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.”
E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web

Annie Dillard
“The dedicated life is the life worth living. You must give with your whole heart.”
Annie Dillard

Marilynne Robinson
“Sometimes I have loved the peacefulness of an ordinary Sunday. It is like standing in a newly planted garden after a warm rain. You can feel the silent and invisible life.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
